At the announcement of Legacy during E3 2020, Nintendo confirmed that a separate Fire Emblem title was currently in developed by Intelligent Systems that would launch on the DSGo later in its lifespan.įor the first time in the series, mounts are not intrinsic parts of a unit or class and instead act like weapons, with unique mounts having their own stats. Legacy is the first title in the series to not be developed by Intelligent Systems, with Nintendo ascribed to the "split direction" created by the game: while the standard series will continue to evolve along the lines of Three Houses with its revolutions in the class system and other new features, games like Legacy will keep the classic gameplay and sprite-based graphics of previous titles. Like previous titles in the Fire Emblem series such as Fates and Three Houses, the story is seen through the eyes of a gender-neutral avatar character named Keanu, albeit with less customization than previous titles. It focuses on the new continent of Hamerfelle and its most curious quality, the existence of ghosts known as Fighting Spirits that inhabit the body of fighters and can temporarily boost their physical strength and mental faculties. It is the seventeenth game in the Fire Emblem series and the first on the DSGo, and it takes place in a completely new world with original characters, storyline, and setting. FIRE EMBLEM Legacy is an upcoming turn-based strategy video game developed by Studio Lillie ( t∣ b∣ c) published by Nintendo as a launch title for the Nintendo DSGo in July 2021.
